Doesn’t surprise me. I always knew Lake was
full of Numpty’s, this just clarifies it!
Lol
Your opinion as usual means nothing..
I am pleased you like to hear the truth
Have a great weekend
Lol
Guess you didn’t vote then ?? Or voted tory and lost, no one in their right mind would vote for starmers army of liars and cheats.
Correct I didn’t vote, they all sing
from the same hymn sheet.
The WEF
Me thinks you are the Numpty + a poor keyboard warrior.
Me thinks you don’t like hearing the truth
Bless you.
The truth is that you have won the title of the Village Idiot. Every village has one but you have won with a huge majority.
Super!
Well done Reform UK!
Let us get this country back on track.
No doubt that there will be the usual naysayers commenting here as a response to my truthful statement.
Nigel is an orchestrated WEF puppet.
The whole council would have culled, they knew and postponed the election.
The Council didn’t postpone the election, the government did. 2 Reform councillors will achieve diddly squat unless the vote alongside the Conservatives.
Reform!! Great news!
The rest of the island will be Reform once the dictatorship falls.
If reform ever get in they will be controlled by
the so called Elites.
Oh, I thought you classed yourself as one of the Elite!!!
Well done to Reform UK. Now we know why this so called labour party didn’t want us here on the island to vote for councillors. They would of lost hands down. Starmer mobsters and liars are on borrowed time.
Labour only has one councillor??
28.9% turnout. So basically the winner doesn’t really represent anybody.
